Inhabited by an old book-lOving man

seemed to be circulating library. You
met pile of books on the parlOr table,
a heap of 'em in the hall on the hat

quarter of the dining-room, and they
were flung round OH the verapda and
had even got as far as the kitchen. The

to be handling 'em all the time. A
large fortune has been frittered away
fn ancient tones that are not sufficiently
valuable to warrant the patient and
lovely daughter in believing that their
sale some day will restore her One-tenth
part the money that went to purchase
'em.
Old Ben Bibli0pole sits early and late,
and turns these books over and carts
'em round. He goes to the portico to
spend an hour, he takes an armful; he
goes to the summer house, and makes
two or three trips in order to carry out
the number of books necessary for his
amusement or instruction during the
afternoon. He leaves the whole bust
ness wherever he chances to break up,

Ben began to hammer on the door,
and finally old Jones sang out to know
what the row was.
''Wah, Wah!! Wah.!," hOwled the
fuddled husband, "a man is in my wife's
room. / never thought so soon as that
I'd find out such things"
The sleepeTs woke and came into the
hall. Old Jones burst out in flannel

''She's took up with such a chrome,

''Who, you ScOundrel?"
''My wife, Esther replied Ben,

There was a clinch and a struggle,
and both men fell in heap, and old
Mrs. Jones rushed out and fell upon the
two.
The drunken friends of Ben, wanting
to see fair play and the rightful heir get
his own, dug Ben out from under the
wreck of Mr.. and Mrs. Jones. Some of
the boarders undertook to defend the
JOneses. and it ended in much gore, a
broken head OF two and the carting off
of Ben and old Jones, who each charged
the other with murder, arson and big

her mother are consulting lawyers and
instituting proceedings that will result
in that young wOman'S making another
foolish matrimonial venture, no doubt,
in the course of a year or so.

DONE IN A YEAR.
The Past Seasons Work in the
Curb and Gutter Line.

Curb and Gutter Line.
One of the most important things in
the big city, next to the sewerage sys-
ten, is the curling and the gutter ways.
When you find city that has paid no
attention to such matters, and allows
pools of stagnant water to stand in the
streets, to spread fever and desOlatiOn,
you can make up your mind at once
that something is wrong somewhere
either the city council is composed OF
old fOgieS, who should have lived during
the middle ages, or else the city treas
ury is in complete state of emptiness.
Such state of affairs has never yet
reached Minneapolis, and in all prOba-
bIiities never will, at least so long as
we have such an energetic council as
now meets at the city hall. In proof of
this one has only to look at the vast
amount of curb and gutter work that
has been done during the past year.
There was something over 10000 lineal
feet ordered put in at the beginning OF
the year, but for some reason the con-
tractors having the work in charge have
not been able to do it all. Up to Nov.
l, 50,436.7 lineal feet, or $50 miles, OF
gutter and curbing has been laid, and
1854 1eeG OF curDlnS without SutteTS.
Five eatchbasin covers have been put
in, and eighty-five curb covers. The
gutter and curling was laid at con-
tract price of 9719 cents per lineal foot,
while the curbing without cutters cost
20 cents. The catchbaSin covers were
put in at cost of S13 each, and the
curb covers drew from the city treasury
1858, or s. each. The total cost of the
entire work was SOL, 1926. Last year
there were 6,93O feet of gutter and
curbing put in. The amount to be put
in the coming year is much larger than
in any previous year, being 1f7, 266.27
feet, or 27.89 miles. OF this amount
about 10000 feet was ordered for the
present year, but the contractors failed
to do the work. The cost of this gutter
and curbing will be in the neighborhood
of S154, 992. 80.

WINTER SPORTS.
Mayor Ames Warmly Advocates
His Plan Before the Park Com
rniSSinn

lnlSSIOH.
At the meeting of the park commits
sion yesterday afternoon petition of
Samuel n. Erving for a boating priyi-
lege at Lake Calhoun was under
consideration. The secretary was
instructed to report at the next
meeting as to the unexpended balance
due the Central park fund. The com
mittee in charge of the improvement at
Lyndale avenue was authorized to make
an equitable arrangement with Peter
Rauen for the removal of building
owned by him at the corner of Lyndale
and Eleventh avenues, which projects
three feet over the line of Lyndale ave-
nue.. The attorney of the board made
lengthy report concerning the matter of
perfecting title to the boulevard on
Lyndale avenue, in which he recon-
mended the abandonment of the con-
domination proceedings, as much of,
the property proposed to be taken
has not been decided, and the city
council can with much less difficulty
perfect title thereto during the winter
and turn the same over to the board for
next seasons work.
Mayor Ames made another vigorous
effort in behalf of winter sports at Lakes
Calhoun and Harriet, and desired that
the special committee should be given
power to act and make arrangements.
He thought that the committee should
be increased to either five or seven
members so as to represent the board.
Commissioner Oswald threw cold
water upon the scheme, citing the fact
that the financial condition of the board
did not warrant any expenditures.
Mayor Ames replied warmly that in
former wears, when the board ran short
of funds, there was no difficulty in by
pothecating itSbonds for large amounts
and he considered it pity if few hum
bred dollars could not be spent in fur
nishing amusement for the people. He
believed further that the sale of privi-
legeS would realize sufficient to cover
nearly all expense. He wanted the
committee increased and given power to
act because it would be impossible to
get quorum of the board during the
winter unless meeting should be held
i'll Florida. A motion emb0dying his
ideas was finally passed with the pro-
viso that no expenditures should he
made except upon the authority of the
board.
Commissioner BOardman offered a
resolution authorizing the purchase of
the old Moulton nursery tract for $25,-
900. containing ten acres, and the deSig-
nation of the same as a park for the
Ninth ward. the land 10 be paid for in

the management of the French Catholic
fair, which has been in progress there
during the week. The crowd was thick

was dismal failure, and lines had to
be formed so that the voting could be
done in any kind of order. From first

the result of quarrel of ten years
standing. When both men were living
in Texas, Frazier sold a bunch of cat
tie to Jackson and said ne received in
payment counterfeit money, and de-
manded the return of the stock. Jack
son denied the claim and accused Fra
zier of swindIing and dealing in coun-
terfeit money, of which charge Frazier
was convicted and served five years in

moved to New Mexico, where he came
in contact with Jackson, and for years

changed shots, with the above result.
